To some, it remains best known as the 'forgotten war'. But for those who lived through it, those who study history, and those who acknowledge heroism and sacrifice, the Korean War is truly memorable. An early armed conflict of the Cold War, the communist invasion of South Korea raised the spectre of destruction and suffering on a grand scale once again in the mid-20th century, only five years after the end of World War Two. In observance of the 75th anniversary of the Korean War, this volume explores the political, diplomatic, ideological, military, and human perspectives and experiences that shaped the future of East and West political relationships while the conflict itself remains unresolved to this day.
